Hello, Can anyone enlighten me on how the buttons are set up on the standard Motif dialogs (SelectionBox, FileSelectionBox, etc, MessageBox, etc.) I would like to have the buttons on some custom dialogs I am writing act the same way and and having some trouble getting the same behaviors: 1. Buttons are uniform size. (OK, I can do this brute force with XmNwidth) 2. Buttons are uniform spacing across the dialog and will increase their spacing uniformly if the dialog is enlarged, BUT will not reposition to less than their original spacing if the dialog is shrunk and are instead clipped. (I can get the first part of this on a form with XmATTACH_POSITION but how to get the enforced minimum spacing, currently mine overlap when the dialog is resized smaller). 3. Ok button is aligned vertically with other widgets on the dialog. (more exactly, the border from XmNshowAsDefault is aligned). (currently doing this with brute force adjustment of spacing of ok button.) Example code would be appreciated. I am working with Motif 1.0 on an HP 9000/825. (Wish I had the Motif source, then I could just look at their implementation. Oh well, money doesn't grow on trees.)
